37 Days to Zen – 3 days left… Broken Back Included

With three days left to find true Zen, it might be impossible. Especially since I am about four days late with this post. Unfortunately, I fell four feet backward off a trailer, striking asphalt, which unbelievably has very little give to it. I hopped up quickly, walked it off, and figured I would just be … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – 3 days left… Broken Back Included

37 Days to Zen – 5 to Go

I remember a month ago I was typing out however many days to death. Or days to a heart attack, or stroke. I do feel better. I know I have said that over and over the last week's worth of posts, but I do. I am calmer. I am a little happier. Maybe not even … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – 5 to Go

37 Days to Zen – Day 23 Change Day 16 Down, 14 to Go

With day 16 in the books, I have to say I feel lighter. I woke up this morning feeling as if I have lost some weight, but I still won't hit the scales. I don't care about the numbers; I just care about the feeling. How I feel, both my body and mind. My daily … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – Day 23 Change Day 16 Down, 14 to Go

37 Days to Zen -Day 22 Change Day 15 Days to Go

I don't think I am much closer to Zen than I was 22 days ago. Maybe my expectations were a bit high. Maybe Zen isn't meant for everyone on the Planet. Maybe Zen means different things to different people. I watch videos of Monks regularly, and they seem as content as a human could be. … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen -Day 22 Change Day 15 Days to Go

37 Days to Zen – Day 21 Change Day 14 is Half of 30 Right?

I know the title says 14 is half of 30, but I might can prove it with Common Core Math. I am 14 days in with 16 to go to reach ultimate Zen, or the plain of enlightenment, where I will most likely get steamrolled by Chris Farley coming in hot. I felt a bit … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – Day 21 Change Day 14 is Half of 30 Right?

37 Days to Zen – Day 20 Change Day Lucky 13

If 13 is an unlucky number, I must be one lucky guy... 13 days in and I have been dead to the world for the past three. I can't seem to shake this feeling, and I am certain by now it's not sickness. Well, it could be mental sickness, but that's for another series...now back … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – Day 20 Change Day Lucky 13

37 Days to Zen – Day 16, Change Day 9 -Lonely Tacos

Taco Bell sales have plummeted over this past week, driving stock prices through the floor. I feel better, so Taco Bell should continue to see dips in customers for the foreseeable future. I will miss some of the cashiers. One at Wendy's knows my name better than most of my friends. Okay, I don't have … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – Day 16, Change Day 9 -Lonely Tacos

37 Days to Zen – Day 15 Change Day 8 Hungry Nights

I used to eat heavy late at night. I say used to like it was years ago when in reality it was days and weeks ago. I wouldn't have trouble laying down because I just devoured two bowls of spaghetti and three garlic bread slices. I hurt from consuming three or four times what I … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – Day 15 Change Day 8 Hungry Nights
